  • Okay, so my "new" New Strategy is betting on potential upsets. I think this match has the potential for such an upset precisely because of the reasons given by Harry Smith's prediction above ie. the John Eustace factor. He really should have been given the Stoke job instead of Steve Schumacher (sorry, Steve!) and I think he'll have a lot of incentive to prove a point against his old bosses at Birmingham tonight. Also, Birmingham can't seem to hit a barn door ATM! I went for odds of Rovers @ 3.25 on Betfair Exchange.
